He started photography around 1970 using a 4×5 view camera and switched to digital with the introduction of the Nikon D70 in 2004.

Course Description:
Students will learn the fundamentals of using Adobe Lightroom to organize, process and output (either as digital files or as prints) their photographs. Students will be introduced to each topic on the instructor’s screen and then given time to begin to develop their “muscle memory” by exploring the topic on their own computer with their own photographs. The session will end with a more extended period of individual work where the instructor is available to help guide the process.

Participants:
Minimum of 4 – Maximum of 8 participants
